Permit Help in West Park
If your property is inside the City of West Park, building permits are issued by the City’s Building Department — not by Broward County’s Building Code Division and not by a neighboring city. Confirm that the address sits inside city limits before anyone applies. West Park is its own municipality and is not part of the Broward Municipal Services District.
Permit Busters, LLC helps homeowners, business owners, real estate professionals, and contractors with permit expediting, code-violation resolution, and open or expired permit questions on West Park properties. We do not issue or approve permits. The City’s building official decides those outcomes.
Which office reviews a West Park property?
The City’s Building Department page states that building permit and inspection services are provided by CAP Government, Inc. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The cutoff for an inspection request is 3:00 p.m. for the next day. The City does not accept cash; payments payable to the City of West Park may be brought or mailed to 1965 S. State Road 7, West Park, Florida 33023, which is a City address, not Permit Busters’ address.
Questions can be sent to inspection@cityofwestpark.org or 954-989-2688, Option 9, Ext. 210 or 202. A West Park mailing address can still belong to Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Park, or another nearby jurisdiction.
How West Park applications are submitted
The City directs applicants to register and create an account in its online building-permit portal. The working Citizenserve portal for West Park is the City’s official Citizenserve installation. Applications can be started there, and the portal can be used to view permit status, pay certain fees, and look up records. Plan submittal is different: the live portal states that the City does not participate in electronic plan review and that all plans need to be submitted in person. Do not treat leftover electronic-plan-review labels in the portal menu as the current method unless the City confirms a change.
Inspection requests must be submitted in person, emailed to inspection@cityofwestpark.org, or faxed to 954-989-2684. The portal says inspections are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for the next business day.
Application packages must include the Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, a notice of commencement when it is required, and the City checklist for the permit type. The Building Department page publishes checklists for roofs, windows and doors, additions and alterations, and other work, including docks and seawalls where they apply. Associated Broward County items go through County ePermits, which is a separate path.
The City has a records limit that matters for older houses. It states that it is not likely to have records, such as blueprints, for structures built more than 10 years ago, because residential plans need not be kept more than 10 years after a certificate of occupancy.
How Permit Busters can help
Permit expediting. Share the West Park address, the scope of work, and whether a Citizenserve record already exists. We can help prepare application information, organize the City’s required forms, and coordinate the in-person plan submittal the portal currently requires. Licensed contractors or eligible owner-builders still have to meet the City’s applicant rules. Government fees are separate from our fee. Our fee is non-refundable once work begins.
Code-violation resolution. Read the agency named on the notice. A City of West Park notice is not the same as a Broward County notice or a notice from a neighboring city. The Citizenserve portal also includes code-enforcement search tools. If a hearing is involved, our help is document preparation only, not attorney work.
Open or expired permits. Finished physical work is not the same as a closed permit. If a sale or refinance turned up an open or expired West Park record, gather the permit number, inspection history if you have it, and the question from your transaction team. For older houses, original plans may no longer be on file with the City. Identifying a record and resolving it are separate steps. A consultation cannot guarantee a closing date.
Project types we often discuss in West Park
Homeowners, businesses, and real estate professionals often need help with windows and doors, roofing, additions or alterations, and electrical, plumbing, or mechanical replacements. Some properties may also involve dock or seawall work. Association approval, when a property requires it, is separate from the city permit and remains the client’s responsibility.
Questions specific to West Park
Can I upload plans electronically?
The live Citizenserve portal states that the City does not participate in electronic plan review and that all plans need to be submitted in person. Confirm current instructions with the Building Department before you file.
How do I request an inspection?

Will the City have plans for an older house?
